Belgian director Laura Wandel will sit on the jury of the 79th Cannes Film Festival alongside Hollywood star Demi Moore, Chinese director Chloé Zhao (“Nomadland” and “Hamnet”) and Swedish actor Stellan Skarsgård, among others. The jury is chaired by South Korean director Park Chan-wook.
The jury, which also includes Ken Loach’s favourite screenwriter Paul Laverty and the Ivorian-American actor Isaach de Bankolé, will award the 2026 Palme d’Or.
The Cannes Film Festival begins on 12 May. Last year, the top prize went to “It Was Just an Accident” by Iranian director Jafar Panahi.
Laura Wandel is known for her powerful and realistic dramas, such as “Un monde” (2021) and “L’intérêt d’Adam” (2025).
